PROBLEM: There is too much information and too much noise to be able to determine what is true
SOLUTION: We will financialize ideas and use prediction markets as the supreme arbiter of objective reality
Douglas Adams would have rejected this for being too bleak and absurd

Either more of that egregious White House incompetence or just openly flaunting the whole SS thing now. Or both maybe.

Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Baristas are locking arms in front of lines of trucks.
This is in front of a Starbucks distribution center - their largest on the East Coast!
The unfair labor practices strike is in its 7th day, and these baristas mean BUSINESS.
Please support them by not buying Starbucks.

It was really almost going to be Supreme Clientele, but this has to be Deltron.
Just gotta say the question, as written, precludes Stankonia, despite how good the songs are, the skits and interludes are some of the worst. And Deltron has some of the best, including my first Paul Barman experience

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.
He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.
Literally resign tonight.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

The defense is emphatic about wanting to have the government close before lunch and the defense close after lunch. Looks like judge will have them both close after lunch. This way no one will have the unfair advantage of having just consumed a fortifying footlong.

We’re still waiting for the judge to figure out the jury instructions. Definitions can take time! Thankfully, he need not rule on the distinction among hoagie, sub and grinder.
